Our Tracking Techniques

Tracking Tools We Use

We collect personal and other information about users over time and across different websites and devices when you use this Website or service. We also have third parties that collect personal information this way. We and our vendors use several common online tracking tools to collect this information. These may include browser and flash cookies. We may also use web beacons and similar technologies. We or third parties may also collect or receive information from our device applications and others’ device applications and use that information to provide measurement services and targeted ads. We (and our third party service providers) also use these tools:

• To track new visitors to our Websites
• To recognize returning customers
• To learn what site referred you to our Website or device application
• To personalize your experience on our Website, device application and on third-party social networking websites, plug-ins and applications
• To collect and store geographic data determined by the IP address of your computer
• To optimize and tailor our Websites and device applications
• To make product recommendations and provide you with advertising content we believe may be of interest to you. As part of this customization, we may observe your behaviors on our device applications, our Websites or on other websites. We may also get information about your browsing history from our trusted business partners and vendors
• So we can better understand our audience, our customers, our Website visitors and device application users, and their respective interests, which includes learning about your online activities across devices.

Controlling Our Tracking Tools

Your browser may give you the ability to control cookies, and browser add-ons like Ghostery allow you to decide which cookies to activate/deactivate. How you do so depends on the type of cookie. Certain browsers can be set to reject browser cookies. Your device may not give you the ability to control cookies. If you configure your computer to block cookies, you will limit the functionality we can provide when you visit our Websites. If you configure to block or delete cookies, not all of the tracking that we have described in this policy will stop.

Our “Do Not Track” policy: Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature that lets you inform websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. These browser features are not uniform, so we are not currently set up to respond to those signals.

Controlling Online Interest-Based Ads

We sometimes work with online advertising vendors to provide you with relevant and useful ads. This may include ads served on our Websites or device applications. This may also include ads served on other websites. These ads may be based on information collected by us or third parties. For example, information a third party collects when you register for a website: e.g. your zip code. This might be used to target an ad for people in your area. These ads may also be based on your activities on our Websites or on third party websites.

To opt out of certain interest-based advertising associated with your use of device applications, you may be able to adjust your device settings via the “Limit Ad Tracking” setting for iOS devices or the Android “Opt out of Ads Personalization” setting for Android devices. Please see the support materials for your operating systems or devices for more information.

Some of the social media platforms we work with may serve you with interest-based advertising on their platforms. In addition to or instead of the opt-out mechanism linked above, you may be able to opt out of their interest-based advertising by changing your advertising preferences in the platforms after you log in.

When filling out the form, you are asked for personal information such as your name, address, phone number and email address that you select. This information may be used to help our representatives contact you via phone, email, text, mail and other methods to answer any questions or provide you with a free in-home consultation appointment.
